Griffin wore unauthorized apparel emblazoned with the phrase "Operation Patience" during pregame warmups before Monday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. That was RGIII's catchphrase for working his way back into full-time duties after offseason knee surgery.

UPDATE: Griffin addressed the fine at the Redskins' Welcome Home Luncheon on Friday, per The Associated Press, joking: "Those auctioneers did a good job. I would've given them 10 grand, but the NFL took it away from me this week."
